Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Torquay
Newer blocks in Torquay with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Torquay. Torquay lies roughly 28 miles from Plymouth, and we cover it as part of Devon. Postcode districts we cover here include TQ2.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Consent and planning for flats
Leaseholders in Torquay usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In England, permitted development allows one outdoor unit of up to 0.6 m³ on a block of flats; anything more needs planning permission.
The survey
A survey in Torquay usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. On a survey in Torquay the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
